This
character was selected out
of the encyclopedic character
background materials (whose
volume would rival the Encyclopedia
Britannica!) of the supervising
planners.
Lin is tied to the Flying
Brigands "HIzoku", who were
introduced as a KOF side
story in the NESTS Chronicles,
but without the knowledge
of the staff, and when Ron
showed up in the ending sequence,
there were some awfully surprised
designers.
With all the special moves
and actions for this character
the programmers and planners
had a rough time working
on this character. He brought
tears to the eyes of the
developers, but not for the
usual reasons.
